There is no comparison between
our own and any other land on all
the earth. There are occasional
outbreaks, but whenever the An
arehists or Socialists rear their hated
crest the names of the leaders give
certain evidence that they were
brought up under botn kingly and
despotlc rule, But while the lead
ers of the Socialists and Anarchists
are foreigners, 1t is relief to know
that our foreign population are the
most loyal, law-abiding Of our citi-
zens. If they had their way they
would dispatch the foreign outlaw.
This Is indeed great country and

RURAL TOPICS.


Prof. Charles +. Bessey, of Nebraska,
discussing in the american Agricuttur-
iSt for March the great changes that
have taken place in the horticulture Of
the Plains says:
/ have just passed through an expe-
Renee which has materially changed
my views as to the growing of fruit
upon tho great plains. The winters
for several years have been very severe
i'm the West, testing old varieties to the
uttermost and many tree which has
been regarded by its owner as perfect
ly hardy, has succumbed to the extreme
cold. In Iowa. the last few winters
have destroyed thousands of trees, and
in some instances whole orchards have
been swept away. Upon the plains, TO
the westward of the Missouri River.
the conditions were originally such,
that few people had faith ,that fruits
could ever be grown there with any
hope of success. To one that has been
over these long rolling stretches OF tree
less land and the probability that they
would grow productive orchares seem
ed remote indeed. Excepting on a
comparatively small strip along the
Missouri River there were no native
apples. plums, blackberries, raspber-
ries currents, or grapes. Nature plant
ed Strawberries in abundance every
where on the plains, and in the region
north of the Platte River a promising
looking dwarf cherry.
But the recent meeting Of the Ne
braska State Horticultural Society has
demonstrated that fruits, and fine fruits
too, can be grown upon the former all
but fruitleSo plains. The meetings
we're held in the rooms of the Depart
nent of Botany and Horticulture of the
State University IN the C.ty of Lincoln.
The botanical laboratory was turned
into an exhibition room. and here, upon
tables which stretched from end to end
OF the large room, were arranged about
two hundred and fifty plates OF rs fine
apples rs have ever seen. Think of
it, my hort cultural friends in the East;

MIX Tests.

The only system yet suggested which
bids fair to be of practicable applica-
ton in creameries, for the frequent or
even daily, testing of milk brought in
by many producers, and for the daily
testing of the milk of each COW of a
herd. a. this be desired is that by the
means of an oil-test churn. This APP
paratus consist of many glass tubes of
the same size. into each of which an
equal quantity of milk is placed, fill
ing the tubes half to two-thirds full.
The tubes are set upright for the
cream to rise; then they stand at
temperature of sixtv-ive degrees or
over, until incipient sourng comes on.
when the cream is supposed to be
ripe" or fit for churning. Then all
the tubes, or. "a we NAV now call them,
little churns. are laid upon their sides
or fastened in frames, and violently
shaken n "A machine made for the pur-
pose, until it is evident that all the
cream has been turned into butter.
This done, the frames are removed.
and. being placed in water heated to
about l4O degrees. the butter melts TO
a limpid oil, which, upon cooling-thc
tubes standing perfectly upright-may
be easily measured, and will show with
considerable accuracy the relative
amount of butter in the different sam
pies. 1t is clear that by this process
the milk of one day can be reported
upon one or two DAYS thereafter. and
as only a very small quantity of milk
is required, no less can be reckoned
from this cause. Only double or
triple set of tubes is needed to test the
milk of every producer every day.
With skill. attained by practice, even
with the rather crude apparatus which
has been used quite satisfactory results
has been secured. The oil-test churn,
now in it's infancy, promises to be an
exceedingly valuable aid to breeders
and cow-keepers, as well Il, to those
who buy milk and cream. in enabling
them to determine the amout of fat

spring Farm Cleaning.

While the wife cleans the house let

table matter is left about the yard, its
rapid decay during the damp. warm
weather Of spring and summer, will
poison the air and affect the health of
the family. If left about the barn, lots
and fields, it will have like influence
on the farm animals. Hogs are doubly
liable to be injured, for they not only
breathe the fouled air. but nest in such
litter. Farm cleaning will save. loss
from disease. The litter has great value
The intelligent use of this manure en-
sures better crops, and the farm is cap

Pure Breeds and Common stock.

Pure breeds of fowls have been so
widely disseminated that it is almost
impossible to find common flock even

tent of containing one or two extra
good layers. These will always be
found to possess good blood from some
pure bred ascestor. In flock of 100

to 100 dozen, equal to $40, which is
quite on item; yet = pureb bred cock can
